My box is only a single 10 under the front middle seat. I know you can get 2 tens under the rear seat, 12's I'm not sure about though, might be hard to get the right area in the box.

Like Sheriff said, check out what the manufacturer recommends for cubic feet of area and plan accordingly. I'd say go to Crutchfield and search for your model number, and look at what the manufacturer recommends. I wouldn't use any basic calculators because every manufacturer is different. I just looked at the couple different 12's they had at Crutcfield, and if it's shallow mount you need .8 a sub, if it's more the standard size, they want closer to 1.25 for a sealed box.

It's easy to build a box with a few tools, but personally I wouldn't bother putting a sub in unless you could get really close to the 'ideal' box size of the manufacturer. I have my sub within .03 of the 'idea' for the Kappa, and it kills. No one believes it's a single 10" sub.
